Method for applying P-MPR and apparatus thereof

An apparatus for determining an uplink transmit power, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
• measuring an uplink duty cycle;
• comparing the measured uplink duty cycle with a maximum uplink duty cycle;
• calculating a value for a power management UE maximum power reduction (P-MPR), based on that the measured uplink duty cycle is greater than the maximum uplink duty cycle;
• and
• determining the uplink transmit power based on the calculated value for P-MPR.
